Suwon’s Haenggung-dong is the name for 12 neighborhoods, including Jangan-dong and Sinpung-dong, in the Hwaseong Fortress area. It was the most bustling place in Suwon from when the Hwaseong Fortress was built 220 years ago until just a few decades ago. However, with Hwaseong Fortress being designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, time seems to have stopped due to strict development regulations. In the meantime, residents, civic groups, and artists came together to paint murals in effort to make the area become more alive. Due to their efforts, the region has now emerged as a tourist attraction visited by as many people as Hwaseong Fortress.

The Haenggung-dong comprises various alleys connected depending on their characteristics, including the Mural Village, Workshop Street, Suwon Chicken Street, and Jidong Market. The Mural Village is divided into six alleyways by theme, including the Haengbokha (Happy) Road, Saranghada (Love) Road, Nuneuroganeun (to Snow) Road, Cheoeumachim (First Morning) Road, Romance Road, and Dwiroganeun (Backward) Road. A photo zone has been set up in front of the mural, and not only the mural but also the walls, roof, and fence are filled with various sculptures and paintings. Many pretty workshops and cafés nearby are also interesting to look around.

Haenggung-dong Mural Village sets the scene where Sol and Sun-jae walked to school together. It is also where the memorable scene was filmed of Sol dashingly pushing a flustered Sun-jae against the wall. As you stroll along the low stone walls adorned with murals, it’s easy to imagine the couple’s school-day moments, adding a nostalgic charm to your walk.

Suwon Hwaseong Fortress has a total of four pavilions, and Banghwasuryujeong Pavilion is located on the northwestern side of the fortress. The fortresses were built to act as a watchtower for keeping an eye on outside invasion, with Banghwasuryujeong Pavilion being located at the most strategic point. Although it was built as a military watchtower, it was designed to also act as a pavilion, and Banghwasuryujeong Pavilion was recognized as a National Treasure in 2011 for outstanding techniques and aesthetics that represent the Joseon dynasty in the 18th century.

This restaurant, with 33 years of history, serves Seolleongtang (Ox bone soup). The soup is rich and deep in flavor, thanks to the bones that are boiled for more than 12 hours. It pairs perfectly with Baechukimchi (Kimchi) and Kkakdugi (Diced radish kimchi), both ripened to perfection and served on the side. The soup is presented in a hot pot. To mitigate the oily flavor, add plenty of minced green onions, and season with salt and pepper to taste. The meat in the soup is tender and has a clean taste.
